Benefits Polypropylene Ropes

Because of their stellar performance, Polypropylene (PP) Ropes are an all-time favourite with rope consumers. It is a good choice because of the following qualities:

• Strength and Flexibility: The minimum breaking strength and safe load of the material are ideal. Thus, it is suitable for numerous mechanical works that require ropes that are tough and flexible. It can effectively resist fatigue, which boosts its utility more.
• Chemical Resistant: Polypropylene is essentially a thermoplastic polymer. It has the property of turning into liquid when heated and attain a glassy look when cooled. However, its melting point is very high (170 Degree Centigrade). This allows it to remain inert to most chemical solvents, acids, and bases.
• Lighter Than Water: The material comes with an inherent specific gravity of .91, which is less than that of water (1). This property allows the PP ropes to float on water. This is why it is a product of choice for marine and fishing industries, and water sports. No matter how thick the diameter is, the rope never tangles.
• Rot Resistant: The material doesn't let mould and mildew to grow on it. Thus, it is extremely rot resistant. This is another reason why it is an ideal product for industries that are reliant on water.
• Cheap: Compared to the other materials, PP is easily available and very much affordable. Thus, ropes moulded out of this material come at reasonable prices and can be availed in any form or colour desired.
